Redtail Rise aureolin

can’t resist but obv no rush!

The Wealda had sensed the unsettling of the Rise with Masque’s visit.  Though she herself was relieved to bury old hurts, the tone disquieted her some.  Ulfhedinn was supportive; the rest perhaps unsure.  She could not begin to guess at their true thoughts, and could not determine how to approach this.

Once more cast into the mire by her own desire for unity and her own inability to inspire it.  The doubts undid much of the good of the reunion.

That night, as she returned late to @Gavrel’s side, she resolved to at least discover his insight.  He was new, unknowing, yet the perfect one to approach first.  The others could benefit from the things she learned.

She had been watching the edge of the territory with extra attentiveness, hawklike with the arrival of now two new neighbors.  Their proximity did not threaten her at all and both had been greeted amicably.  Yet children still resided here, and while they remained vulnerable, her duty was protection.  In this, all things might serve as threats.

She was tired as she approached.  Still she allowed the trail to guide her to him.
